Abstract: With the most recent statistics available, a concrete emissions inventory is compiled for an input–output analysis to investigate the embodied CO
2 emissions induced by fossil fuel combustion of Beijing economy in 2007. Results show that the total direct CO2 emissions amount to 9.45E+07t, within which 56.81% are released from coal combustion, 11.50% from coke combustion, 9.03% from kerosene combustion, 8.70% from natural gas and 6.40% from diesel, respectively. The average intensity of secondary industries (3.12t/1E+4 Yuan) is 0.65 times larger than that of primary industries (1.89t/1E+4 Yuan) and 1.58 times larger than that of tertiary industries (1.21t/1E+4 Yuan). The sector of Construction Industry contributes the largest share (21.98%) of CO2 emissions embodied in final demand for Beijing due to its considerable capital investment. Beijing is a net importer of embodied CO2 emissions with total import and export of 3.06E+08 and 2.00E+08t, respectively. Results of this study provide a sound scientific database for effective policy making in Beijing to reduce CO2 emissions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]- Published
